Brown County residents could be prohibited from borrowing materials from libraries in Outagamie County next year if the counties can't resolve a dispute over a bill.

Libraries in Appleton, Kaukauna, Kimberly and Seymour are considering halting loans of library materials to their neighbors to the north in response to a $33,281 bill from the Brown County Library. The change is proposed to take place after Jan. 1 if the counties can't resolve a dispute over the bill, said Colleen Rortvedt, director of the Appleton Public Library.
